Chapter 233 He who gets the River Map gets the world, and he who gets the Luoshu gets immortality

I stared at the stone in the box with my eyes wide open, looking at it in astonishment. I was like being struck by lightning, and I stood there for a long time without coming back to my senses.

"There really is... the Luoshu?" I swallowed my saliva with a 'gulp'.

Before, Taoist Shadow had troubled me several times just to get the so-called River Map and Luoshu, but from childhood to adulthood, my master never mentioned it to me, let alone seeing it.

I thought that even if this thing really existed, it might not be in my master's hands, because this thing was too hot. You know, the River Map and Luoshu are known as the magic cube of the universe, the origin of the numerology of yin, yang and the five elements. Even the founders of a series of major sects such as Longhu Mountain have learned a little from it.

But this little bit of knowledge was enough to support them to establish their own schools and become masters.

If they understood everything, how powerful would they be? Could they really live forever?

The next moment, I suddenly felt a chill in my heart: "This thing is in my hand now. Doesn't that mean that if I practice the Taoist method above, I can live forever?"

With this thought, I was immediately excited. I took the stone out of the box and began to study it carefully.

But I looked at it for a long time and couldn't figure it out.

It's not that I'm uneducated, it's really... the things painted on it are like ghost paintings. If I can understand it, then you've seen a ghost.

"Didn't the two characters in Luoshu change into modern characters? Why don't these ghostly talismans change?" I slapped the stone twice with my hand, but the stone didn't respond. I slapped it again, but it still didn't respond.

Finally, I even picked up the Soul-Slaying Knife and kept hitting the stone, but it still didn't respond.

"My Lord, what on earth is this painting?"

I threw the stone on the bed with an angry look on my face, and almost the moment the stone landed on the bed, it changed again.

I saw it change for a while, and finally, it turned into a ball of milky white gas, and flew back into the box with a "whoosh". 7K妏敩

Finally, I heard a "pop", but after it entered the box, it didn't forget to close the lid.

"..."

I was stunned and dumbfounded.

"This thing... why does it feel alive? What on earth is it?" I was confused and muttered to myself: "What the hell, why are the things that come from our Yin lineage so weird?"

First, the Soul-Slaying Knife came out of its sheath on its own and didn't listen to my commands at all. It even sucked blood on its own and treated me like a tool.

And now, there is a Luoshu?

"Damn, this is really a ghost coming home, it's so weird."

I shook my head speechlessly, and then suddenly remembered, why is there only Luoshu in this box?

"Could it be that the River Map and Luoshu are not just one book? But two books? If so, where is the River Map? Could it be that the master has kept something else?"

I touched my chin, looking thoughtful.

"Or, give it to my senior sister?"

Just as I was staring at the box in a trance, a voice suddenly sounded behind me: "Do you understand?"

This voice sounded so suddenly that I was immediately startled. I turned around quickly and saw that it was Pao Zhen who was speaking.

He was still wearing only a vest, revealing his solid muscles. At this moment, he was leaning against the door frame, holding a cigarette in his mouth and looking at me with a smile.

"It's autumn now, why are you still wearing a vest every day? Is he an exhibitionist?" I smacked my lips and then said, "Senior Pao...when did you come back?"

With my five senses, I didn't even notice when Pao Zhen came back. How did Pao Zhen do it?

How strong is he?

If a master of Pao Zhen's level wanted to kill me, wouldn't it be as easy as crushing an ant?

It was not until this moment that I realized how weak I was in front of a master of Pao Zhen's level. I was so weak that in Pao Zhen's eyes, I was no different from an ant.

"You've been back for a long time." Pao Zhen smiled and said, "Haven't you learned martial arts since you were a child? How come you didn't even know when I entered the room?"

My face turned red when he said that, and I said embarrassedly, "Haha, I was thinking about other things just now, so I didn't pay much attention."

Hearing this, Pao Zhen laughed, but he didn't continue to argue with me on this topic. He just looked at the small box and asked, "Do you understand it?"

I shook my head and said truthfully, "No."

Pao Zhen said with a playful smile when he heard that, "That's right, you can't understand it. I guess there is no one in the world who can understand this thing."

Pao Zhen's words stunned me.

"There is no one who can understand it? Doesn't that mean that this thing... is useless?"

I was stunned. If that's the case, then what's the point of this thing existing in the world? What

's the point of so many people trying so hard to get it?

If you can't even understand it, what's the point of getting it?

Not only can you not practice the skills in it, but you may even be coveted by someone with ulterior motives. As the saying goes, a man is innocent but guilty if he holds a treasure. If someone finds out about this hot potato, you may die without knowing when.

"Oh, that's what you said, but others don't think so." Pao Zhen took a deep puff of cigarette and then said, "This thing is in your hand. If you let the word out, countless people will come to snatch it. When you tell them that it's useless to take it because no one can understand it, do you think they will believe you? Even if they know that they can't understand it, do you think they won't kill you and take it away?"

I was silent after hearing that.

Pao Zhen was right. Even if this thing is garbage, will anyone believe you if you tell them?

And even if he really knows that it is garbage, he will definitely have a sense of luck in his heart, and even think, others can't understand it, what if he can understand it?

I took a deep breath and asked Pao Zhen, "Master Pao, what are the Hetu and Luoshu? Why do so many people want them? Can they really... make people immortal?"

Pao Zhen did not answer me immediately, but took a deep puff of cigarette, then put out the cigarette butt, and then said: "I don't know what the River Map and Luo Shu are, but there is a saying that has been passed down from ancient times to the present."

"What is it?" I asked hurriedly.

Pao Zhen was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Whoever gets the River Map will get the world, and whoever gets the Luo Shu will get immortality!"
